Each sister smiled, Maria at Mary, Mary at Maria. There is so much friend iness in a smile. Eadi sighed with emotion, in an out-'burst of gratitude. The thin sickle of the moon h\ing pale over their window. At sunset the two sisters would sit in a wide armed-chair together and sing favorite songs and hymns. When it was time to light the lamp they would begin their evening study. At times other girls came in and joined in the singing or sat quietly listening, in what they called "the singing hou...r. " Sometimes the sisters sang a ballad with the refrain, "O Willie, we have missed you. " Mary liked this song and the name of "William, " so she was allowed to add it in the naming of her nephew Jesse William Bradstreet. "Af- ton Water" was loved by all singers with a trace of Scottish blood. Very sweetly the sisters sang, "My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream. " "Highland Mary" was another favorite song, with "For dear to me as light and life. Was my sweet Highland Mary. " The song "Farewell to Ballochmyle, " was plaintive and sad.
